Anything Special w/this Girl? .....pics

tailswithscales Mar 05, 2006 02:33 PM

This is a female that I have had for about two years. She is pretty but (to me) doesn't fit the bill for a "normal" BP. I tried to get some good pictures of her but she is an active snake and loves to slither about and get herself into trouble.
This his her whole body. (Sorry if blurry)

The top of her head

An ok Belly Shot

Now here is where her colors get weird. The milk chocolate color stays solid on her back blotches. But her side pattern the chocolate brown color goes a shade darker and there is a lot of black speckling in her blotches. From the the speckling just ends and goes into a solid bananna yellow. Then her white belly. I tried to catch the contrast and the brightness.



And last but not least just a really cool side head shot.

What do you guys think of her? I'm sure she is just an odd normal and it's my wishful thinking that she is something "special" but hey.........you gotta have dreams right? lol
Thank you for looking.

I think she is quite pretty ... and in reality, who knows what her genetic makeup is ... you definitely can dream

Whether she is "something special" or not, she is still a very pretty ball python, good luck

Hey,

I have a female that looks just like her. Sorry to let you down, but she is a normal ball python. If you insist something is going on with her, the only thing you can do is breed her and find out.

Normal or not, she's a great animal.

It's not how many snakes you have. It's how happy and healthy you can keep them.
